(80 posts)3. Unfortunatly Trumps Truth site Rules line 23 is a lot like rules under DU.
Idk how many "Self deleted" lines were actually censored posts but I've always had a problem with DU's quick red pen strikes on posters. Mine incl. None of which were disparaging but more critical with possible solutions to making the site better or bringing it up to date with the times.
Trumps Truths Rules line 23. You cannot disparage, harm, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and /or the site.

A public company is investing in this piece of crap. There will be some fun litigation TFG claims that this site is worth $800 million

Former president Donald Trump and his team declared Wednesday night that they would soon launch a media powerhouse that would help them triumph in their long-running war against Big Tech. But within hours, pranksters found what appeared to be an unreleased test version and posted a picture of a defecating pig to the donaldjtrump account.
The site has since been pulled offline evidence that Trump is likely to face a daunting challenge in building an Internet business that can stand on its own.
Banned by all major social networks after his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Trump has for months agitated to regain the online megaphone that once blasted his voice around the world. In a presentation released Wednesday by his new media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, his team hailed the new social network as the first tentpole for a Trump-led media, news and Internet empire that would one day compete with Disney, CNN and Facebook.
But the sites early hours revealed lax security, rehashed features and a flurry of bizarre design decisions. An open sign-up page allowed anyone to use the site shortly after it was revealed, sparking the creation of the donaldjtrump account and the pig posting. A Washington Post reporter was able to register and post under the account name mikepence without any stops in place. New sign-ups were blocked shortly after.
